The Justin Winsor prize of $100, offered by the American Historical Association for the 
encouragement of historical research, will be awarded for the year 1905 to the best unpublished 
monograph in the field of American History that shall be submitted to the Committee of Award 
on or before October 1, 1905. 

I. The prize is intended for writers who have not yet published any considerable work or 
obtained an established reputation. 

n. The monograph must be based upon independent and original investigation in American 
history, by which is meant the history of any of the British colonies in America to 1776, of other 
portions of the continent which have since been included in the territory of the United States, 
and of the United States. It may deal with any aspect of that history— social, political, constitu- 
tional, religious, economic, ethnological, military, or biographical, though in the last three instances 
a treatment exclusively ethnological, military, or biographical would be unfavorably received. 

III. The monograph must present subject matter of more than personal or local interest 
and must, as regards its conclusions, be a distinct contribution to knowledge. Its statements 
must be accurate and the author in his treatment of the facts collected must show originality 
and power of interpretation. 

IV. The monograph must conform to the accepted canons of historical research and criticism. 
Tt rnrist hp '"irps pnfe d in sfjpnt Jfi r fp rrn. _ _ .^ — ™ 

It must contain references to all authorities. 

It must be accompanied by a critical bibliography. Should the bibliography be omitted or 
should it consist only of a list of titles without critical comments and valuations, the monograph 
will not be admitted to the competition. 

V. In length the monograph should not be less than 30,000 words or about 100 pages of 
print. It may be more. If possible it should be type-written, but in any case it should be pre- 
sented to the Committee free from erasures, interlineations, and other evidences of revision. If 
the work is not type-written, it must be written carefully and legibly on only one side of the 
sheet and must be in form ready for publication. 

VI. In addition to text, footnotes, and bibliography, the monograph must contain nothing 
except the name and address of the author and a short introduction setting forth the character 
of the material and the purpose of the work. After the award has been made the successful 
competitor may add such personal allusions as are customary in a printed work. 

VII. In making the award the Committee will consider not only research, accuracy, and 
originality, but also clearness of expression, logical arrangement, and especially literary form. 
The successful monograph must be written in good English. The prize will not be awarded 
unless the work submitted shall be of a high degree of excellence. 

VIII. The successful monograph will be published by the American Historical Association 
in its annual report. The author will be given twenty-five copies of his work bound separately 
in paper and twenty-five bound in cloth ; but in case he desire additional copies for personal 
distribution, or to present as part of the requirement for the doctor's degree, he shall pay the 
cost of striking off the extra copies. Separate copies of the monograph, bound in cloth, may be 
obtained of the Secretary, by anyone desiring them, at a cost of fifty cents each. 

IX. Under the rules of the Government the successful competitor can purchase copies of 
his work from the Public Printer, and put them on sale at such price as he may see fit. Any 
competitor may make such use of his manuscript as he desires, even while it is in the hands of 
the Committee, provided that in case he receive the award he defer its publication by any one 
else than the Association until after the appearance of the Report of the Association containing 
the work in question. He must, however, relinquish all right of copyright in his essay since the 
copyright of material published by the Government is forbidden by statute. 

Address all correspondence to the Chairman of the Committee, Professor Charles M. Andrews, 
Bryn Mawr, Pa.
